The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston recently laid off 33 staff members. This decision represents 6.3% of its workforce and aims to reduce costs. Art community members criticize the MFA, stating the cuts target diverse programming. Curators of Islamic, Native American, and Fashion art were among those affected. The MFA maintains the layoffs did not disproportionately affect any identity group.
